### 4/5 — Pretty on point app.

*2023-09-23*

I really enjoy the very different options and I’ve not seen a lot of this on any other platform!

### 3/5 — To many devices at one time you get logged out

*2022-12-13, version 7.630.1*

There are a lot of great series on this app, the main problem I have is the fact that I have four TVs in my home, my iPhone, and a laptop, and I’m not certain how many devices I can be logged into, but when I had a TV logged in, my iPhone, I went to login another TV in my house, and I said I had to log out of other devices in order to do so. I was only watching on one device at a time but still it’s stated I had to log out of the other device in order to watch on this device.  Is this a common problem if so you should update how many devices we can have logged in.

### 5/5 — Topic streaming service

### 2/5 — Good shows, bad streaming

*2022-07-30, version 7.502.1*

Having trouble streaming with Topic.  Other services work fine but Topic streams are either degraded or just lock up.

### 5/5 — Awesomeness me content

### 5/5 — Love the show’s

*2022-07-28, version 7.502.1*

I love documentaries on crime. So app presents what I love to watch. I could never get this from any other movie app.

### 5/5 — My go to

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-07-10, version 7.502.1*

Love it

### 5/5 — Terrific streaming service

*2022-05-27, version 7.502.1*

If you love a variety of foreign language programs, including English, don’t miss this opportunity. I got hooked on the Krampus killer legend, aka “Der Pass” on TOPIC. I’m on season 2 anxiously awaiting each Thursday for the latest episode. I rewatched season 1 too and was glad I did. I’m on season 2 of ARCTIC CIRCLE now and am not getting any chores done. These are terrific programs with fabulous scenery, good actors, and ingenious plot twists. However, I can’t find the name of the dark-haired actor who plays the police lead in season 2, first half, nor is she credited on IMDb! What’s up with that? TOPIC should add her under the cast listing!

**Developer response:** Thanks Liz! Really appreciate your feedback and support. Is this the actor you are referring to? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6800294/characters/nm0457877

### 4/5 — 4stars because …

*2022-03-23, version 7.204.1*

Good app! Just needs more true crime documentaries that I haven’t herd of… seems like I have seen them all. But over all great!!!

**Developer response:** Thanks melisamonet15 - we agree and we have more true crime on it's way!  Topic

### 5/5 — Cinephile Booyah that’s me

*2022-03-21, version 7.204.1*

I love what we call “foreign cinema” it’s mail biting great content with Avery large variety I mean I’m literally in heaven.

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2022-03-19, version 7.204.1*

Can’t stop watching The Bridge with all the plot twists and turns, new people appear and new murders  need to be solved by the inimitable Saga with all her personality quirks

**Developer response:** Thanks Pomervranit. We appreciate your support of Topic and your love for The Bridge!

### 5/5 — Great selection

*2022-03-13, version 7.204.1*

This has a great selection of shows not seen on other services, arranged in an easy to search format.

**Developer response:** Thanks ROTR2020. We appreciate your support of Topic!

### 5/5 — Go to for Scandinavian mysteries

*2022-01-21, version 7.204.1*

So far I have watched The Killing and now am immersed in the The Bridge.  Compelling twists and turns and great acting.

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2022-01-19, version 7.204.1*

Loved the shows I've watched. The app provides many that can't be watched anywhere else. It has been a fabulous addition.

**Developer response:** Thanks Annoyed book lover. We appreciate your support of Topic!

### 1/5 — No customer support

*2023-03-24*

I’m paying for a subscription that I can’t access and no one will respond to my support ticket. Beware
Update 10 days later: Still no help. One email asking me to put their support address in my contacts. No response. Sent screenshot of my receipt. No response. No response. No response.

**Developer response:** Hi Apphag - apologies that you've not received a reply from our team. Please email us at support@topic.com and we'll be sure to fix your issue asap. Thanks - Topic

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2022-07-29, version 7.502.1*

V poor trying to coordinate with Apple purchase. No email sent. No way of confirming subscription.

### 1/5 — Everything is Foreign

*2022-01-19, version 7.204.1*

I got this not realizing every show you have to read subtitles because no show is English. 
I will be canceling my subscription.

### 1/5 — Subscription not honored

*2021-10-28, version 7.204.1*

Subscribed through Apple TV and when I downloaded the app and used MY Apple ID it says no subscription exists.  So I will cancel it AFTER paying the GD $4.99+ tax and you won’t see me ever come back.  You’ll only steal from me once

### 1/5 — Preview Icon Crash

*2020-11-02, version 1.1.4*

TV & Movie icons were visible/available for one week of purchased, but after one week visibility was gone only “Topic” replaced Icons.

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2020-08-23, version 1.1.3*

I signed up for the free 7 day trial to check out the app, they have some programs I would love to see.  However upon signing up those shows are still locked and I can't watch them.  Not a good showing.  I'll be canceling my subscription about an hour in.  Really bummed because it looked like they had some really good stuff.

**Developer response:** Hi - once you have a free trial all of our programming is unlocked. We're sorry you've experienced trouble activating your trial, please email support@topic.com and we will  ensure you are all setup correctly and streaming. Thanks - Topic

### 1/5 — Slow

*2020-08-09, version 1.1.2*

I purchased to watch the series Salamander. The lag of this application is indescribable. Sadly I cancelled my subscription. I’ve tried on my iPhone 11pro max over gig inet. iPad Pro. Same experience. In addition it seems like the CC will come and go as it pleases.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t load

*2020-06-27, version 1.0.8*

Every-time i open the app it doesn’t load and i was really looking forward to streaming your services...

### 1/5 — Lots of good shows but bad tech

*2020-06-17, version 1.0.6*

It has sound with no picture. Constant lag on everything. I really wanted to see some of these shows and movies but no picture on anything just sound. Looking at the rest of the reviews shows that it’s an ongoing issue with no resolution. I’m canceling my subscription.

### 1/5 — Completely unwatchable

*2020-06-14, version 1.0.6*

I’ve tried a new iPad. A galaxy note 10 and a MacBook Pro. It doesn’t work. The screen turns black.  The subtitles don’t work. I don’t know if they tested this at all before rolling it out.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Good option for international shows

*2024-02-26*

As someone who likes to watch shows from all over the world- Topic has a great selection!

### 5/5 — The app works great.

*2024-01-10*

Enjoying all the different shows from different countries. Also enjoying having the English dubbed so I don’t have to read the subtitles.

### 5/5 — Super Happy

*2023-11-13*

I’m very impressed with the selections of shows all of them this far have been awesome. Worth far more than the cost of subscription. Happy a platform like this exists.

### 5/5 — Best app for thrillers and spooky series

*2023-11-05*

Amazing content. This is my new favorite app to watch the shows I actually enjoy.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-08-19*

I love this type of movies and I enjoy this. I just ran into this app and started the free trial and all the topics are very interesting.

### 5/5 — Thing I would like to change

*2023-08-10*

Not user friendly.  The episodes are all jumbled up. Not in order when I try to see the episodes I’ve watched. Other wise great

### 5/5 — Great streaming content and navigation

*2023-03-02, version 7.630.1*

Thanks, Topic, for providing a great app of content I enjoy

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-02-28, version 7.630.1*

At this moment I’m watching The Bridge. Love it!

### 5/5 — My “go to” streaming service

*2023-02-19, version 7.630.1*

It’s amazing to me, sadly, that with so many streaming services out there, and a seeming infinity of cable stations, I can scroll endlessly through the offerings and not find anything I want to watch; except for Topic. Great series and movies, many of which I can’t find anywhere else.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review and support of Topic!

### 5/5 — Must have for true crime lovers!

*2022-12-15, version 7.630.1*

It’s so nice to have content from around the world including the USA. I don’t mind subtitles when it’s premium content I am Into. So far I am loving it! I am New and a lot to explore yet. I am very impressed with what I have seen so far

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review and support of Topic!
